Moyes: Everton were a centre-forward away from Premier League challenge

The former manager says his Toffees team was one piece away from challenging for trophies

David Moyes says Everton were just one piece away from challenging for Premier League glory during his tenure.

Moyes was in charge of the club for 11 years and secured six top-six finishes during his spell with the Toffees.

Trophies were elusive, though, as Everton were unable to capture meaningful silverware before the Scottish manager moved to Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson's replacement in 2013.

The club lost only seven matches in Moyes' final season, but goalscoring issues saw the club score only 55 times in a season where the manager felt the team could have achieved more.
